Kaya was immediately displeased upon hearing this and retorted, "Who wants to marry him! I am a princess!"

It means that the prince's status is not good enough for her.

Crown Prince Namtae immediately replied, "She is willful, capricious, and unreasonable. Naturally, I will only seek a virtuous and gentle Crown Princess."

After saying that, the two looked at each other with mutual disgust and turned their heads away, ignoring each other.

He Jiuniang pouted: "Come on, don't make such sure things. If you're proven wrong later, it won't be me who feels the pain."

Although she's a bit slow on her own issues, she's incredibly perceptive when it comes to gossiping about other people's relationships. Watching the two bicker lately, she thinks they'll eventually develop feelings for each other.

However, this is not something she should worry about. Given their respective statuses, if they were to be together, both emperors and court officials would have to agree, so it wouldn't be that easy.

Seeing their reaction, He Jiuniang said helplessly, "So why do you come to my house to argue every day? If you have something to say, say it. If not, go back home! You are envoys from various countries, with high status and position. Coming to my house to freeload every day, aren't you afraid of bringing shame to your country?"

He Jiuniang genuinely wanted them to leave, so she spoke without thinking, saying whatever came to mind.

Neither of them got angry; instead, they grinned and said, "No way, they don't know."

He Jiuniang: ...

"May I write a letter to your emperor to lodge a complaint?"

After saying that, she sighed first. Writing a letter was definitely impossible; the cost was too high and it wasn't worth it.

"Alright, just say what you need to say. If you don't want to come tomorrow, don't bother. You've already caused me a lot of trouble and I hope you can understand."

It's no wonder she said such harsh things; she had tried all sorts of tactful approaches, but the other person pretended not to understand and kept coming to her door every day.

Upon hearing this, Kaya subconsciously looked at Crown Prince Namtae. She wanted to see what tricks he was up to, which was why she had shamelessly followed him.

As a princess, she failed in her marriage alliance and couldn't do anything for the country, so all she could do was keep an eye on Nam Thai and prevent them from causing trouble.

Crown Prince Namtae originally wanted to find an opportunity to speak with Kaya when she wasn't around, but Kaya followed him around like a shadow, which is why it took so long.

He Jiuniang is clearly angry now, so we can't delay any longer.

He cleared his throat and said, "I've bothered you for so long, and I do have something to ask of you."

He Jiuniang exhaled a breath of stale air, rolled her eyes dramatically, and said, "Finally, I'm going to speak!"

She kept saying everything was fine no matter how I asked her before, but this has delayed her for almost half a month!

Seeing that He Jiuniang was unwilling to pay attention and was waiting for him to continue, the Prince of Nantai finally spoke up: "This time when I came to Beiyan, I found that Beiyan's trade was developing very well and the streets were very prosperous and bustling. I learned that Madam is a good businessman and that the Lu family's businesses are all doing very well. I dare to ask Madam to cooperate with us to boost Nantai's trade."

Hearing this, He Jiuniang frowned. To be honest, she never expected that the Prince of Nantai was after her business. She thought he wanted her to help them seize the throne, just like the two princes in Dongting.

She had originally thought that since Prince Nantai had wasted so much of her time, she would definitely refuse his request firmly, scold him, and then kick him out.

But to my surprise, he came to give me money.

Oh dear! How could I possibly accept this!

"How would you like to collaborate? Tell me."

He Jiuniang's interest surprised Prince Nantai.

He thought He Jiu Niang wouldn't agree easily, so he hesitated to speak.

Seeing that He Jiuniang seemed very interested, he instantly gained confidence and spoke up about his thoughts.

It means that He Jiuniang gave him the prescription, and then he arranged for people to do the business. In the end, He Jiuniang took 70% of the profits, and he took 30%.

This is the biggest concession he can offer.

He Jiuniang sensed his sincerity, but still said, "The conditions the young master mentioned are very good, but not practical."

Prince Nantai was taken aback and was about to ask a question when He Jiuniang took the initiative to say, "Giving you the recipe won't help, because the seasonings in Lu Hei Ya are not available for purchase at the moment. I specially asked someone to bring them back from some overseas countries."

The world is vast, and it's not just these four countries.

Crown Prince Namtae was completely bewildered. What should he do?

"However, I have a lot of stock here, and I don't need you to give me a share. I can sell you seasoning packets. How much money you make from the products you make is none of my business."

He Jiuniang pouted, thinking that as long as the seasoning packets were sold at a higher price, she could still make money.

If we follow Prince Namtae's method, everything will be fine at first, but disputes will definitely arise over time.

She was too lazy to deal with those things, so naturally she only wanted to sell seasoning packets.

Prince Namtae was overjoyed; this was much better than he had imagined!

Originally worried that He Jiuniang would not agree, they were heartbroken and offered her more dividends, but she refused them all.

"But my seasoning packets are very expensive."

He Jiuniang made her point clear beforehand to avoid upsetting the other party later.

Prince Namtae replied, "Of course, of course. A trip overseas takes a year and a half, so the high cost and price are understandable!"

Anyway, once he goes back, his target audience will also be high-ranking officials and nobles, and he'll be selling his work at high prices, so he doesn't need to worry about not making money.

He Jiuniang was pleased to see that he agreed so quickly, and then said, "These potatoes are from overseas. You can buy them from us, and then you can keep the seeds and cultivate them yourself."

"Okay, okay!"

Prince Namtae agreed to everything, and the deal was quickly finalized. They agreed to come over the next day to sign the contract.

Seeing that they had settled things so quickly, Kaya knew that although she didn't understand much about it, Nan Tai would never cause her any trouble, and since the Crown Prince of Nan Tai was smiling so happily, there must be something to gain.

More importantly, she had been thinking that if she went back, she wouldn't be able to eat Lu Hei Ya anymore, so she might as well just marry someone from Bei Yan.

However, now that I can do business with Lu Hei Ya (a type of braised duck), it's definitely better to go back.

"Me! Me! Me! I also want to do business with you!"

She stepped forward, her attitude very enthusiastic.

"How does the princess wish to cooperate?"

He Jiuniang was still very respectful to those who gave her money.

"Just as you just said!"

Kaya didn't understand, but she would copy it verbatim.

The Crown Prince of Nantai looked very ugly. This was the plan he had come up with, and it had been copied by Xiteng!

He glared angrily at Kaya, but Kaya returned the favor with a smug face, which infuriated him even more.

This kind of trick has been played out countless times in the past half month. He Jiu Niang didn't want to watch them make a fool of themselves anymore, so she said, "Princess, you should go and ask Lord Danton what he thinks. Discuss it before you talk, otherwise your Xi Teng will think I've tricked you."

She realized that although Kaya was a princess, she always held the power of decision.
